I'm finding that Race: WTCC on steam is quite cool. Online racing has been fun but you can do a full race weekend via Lan too.

Are any of the games in the OP alright to play with a controller? I want some racing games, but i dont want to buy a steering wheel and i can use the wireless Xbox 360 controller. Would the games still be as 'playable'?

I used to do pretty well at Live For Speed using a joypad, as long as you can have analogue throttle/brake/steering it's all good.

LFS is no good to OP though, the AI are abysmal until you give them a few hundred laps to learn.

GTR 2 plays lovely with 2 analogue sticks.

Live For Speed seems to be the one I get on the best with. Shame the GFX are a little behind the rest but I love the way the cars handle.

You may like Test Drive Unlimited too.

I'm usually a sim fan (GTR2, LFS etc. etc.) however this game is really fun.

Obviously if you are familiar with Trackmania Sunrise, you'll like Trackmania Nations. Also, you can buy Trackamnia United, which looks great.

Have a think about rFactor. So many decent mods and circuits available now and the netcode is second to none. Check out rfactorcentral for a list of everything available.
